Fordracer. HI. I waited 6 months for a single plane manifold for MR heads. I drove out there to pick it up when Run&Gun was racing about an hour away. Real slick Salesman gave me the factory tour,this was after the floods in 95 and the company was getting up and running. My manifold had not been casted yet, aproblem with the new furnace, they did not know how to get a good pour into the molds. They had 4,5headed CNC machines costing 100k each and 5.00$ an hour worker. I personaly saw a worker not put an intake into the machine right and break the bit and manifold. I shook my head and walked away. 5 weeks later my manifold showed up with a sorry note. 2 pushrod holes had not been ground out, casting was pitted on the carb mount area. I used 2 part epoxy and sanded flat. I retapped all the sensor holes and general cleaning up of the intake. I will never buy another part from them again. The manifold was 480.00$ I got a 5% discount because of the long delay. EBrock and Shelby have filled in the parts problem for FE motors great. Ford Power Parts in CALI. has all the small parts you will ever need to assembly one. If I pay top dollar for a part I want a top qualitity part, I a sure everybody wants the same for their hard earned money. This is my problem with Dove. I will give anybody a second change but this company.
Feel free to answer this any time Jim D. You used to have a OK company, I know the storys about the defective heads that got sold. I know of two people that are working on there 3 and 4 set of heads from leaking problems. You keep fixing for free. Rick Lake
